DEN DER HALE THE HORSE FROM TURIN

‘The Horse From Turin’ is the latest track from enigmatic Swedish post-psych band Den Der Hale. Known for their boundary-pushing soundscapes, they’ve continued to develop a forward-thinking sound with this experimental sonic journey underpinned by excellent composition. Atonal melodies and unique rhythms are sent through a variety of interesting effects and layered with the slowly developing influence of krautrock, folk and post-rock. “Originally based on an acoustic bass line, ‘The Horse from Turin’ soon grew into a beast of its own through copious jam sessions”, they say. “Thematically it began as a vague idea based on Bela Tarr’s film’, but just as the original bass line, the lyrics soon took new directions.” Check out their new album, Pastoral Light, when it drops on February 2nd, via FatCat Records. -Dan Peeke
